tearing fabric. ripping holes.

In collaboration with Hazel Meyer, presented at Forest City Gallery (London, ON), 2014

Working to develop an idiosyncratic mythology showcasing parts of the self, lived experience, and imagined possibilities, Ripping Fabric. Tearing Holes. uses the complicated relationship between pleasure and pain as a starting point. By creating an immersive environment using textiles, text, video and patterned wall drawings the gallery becomes an absurd yet compelling universe where these two sensory states of being co-exist. By embracing innuendos and tongue-in-cheek references, MacDonald and Meyer lyrically explore the complex inner desires of being ripped apart, through which we are left with gaping holes, emptiness, and a splattering of subject matter all over the walls, with the heavy use of green, in being the colour associated with being projected into via green screen.
